Description

Walther Farms is seeking an IT Systems & Data Engineer to support a wide range of technology initiatives across our multi-location operation. This role blends infrastructure management, data engineering, and hands-on problem solving in a fast-paced agricultural business.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives on variety—one day you may be building data pipelines in Microsoft Fabric, and the next you’re troubleshooting a network issue or writing a script to automate a manual process. You’ll work both independently and as part of our existing team, coordinating with our third-party IT support provider to keep systems running and continuously improving.

We’re looking for a quick learner who writes clean code, understands modern data and cloud platforms, and is just as comfortable talking through a problem with a team member as they are digging into a technical challenge on their own.

Strong communication, adaptability, and a genuine curiosity for technology are essential for success in this role.

Who You Are

A strong communicator who can effectively work with internal teams and external partners
Approachable and personable, someone who people are comfortable reaching out to for help and support
Able to learn new systems, environments, and teams quickly
Comfortable working across a wide range of technologies and switching between tasks throughout the day
Equally at home writing code, analyzing data, and supporting infrastructure
Confident taking ownership of projects and systems, while collaborating with external support resources
Organized and responsive in managing and following up on support and project work
Thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift
Takes initiative and consistently works to move issues and projects forward
Interested in continuous improvement and bringing new ideas forward, not just maintaining the status quo
Curious about emerging technologies including AI and eager to apply them in practical ways
